The correct description of the hadron's structure requires understanding how quarks and gluons form the observable hadrons and how they are distributed within them. Two key nonperturbative quantities encapsulate this information: parton…
Generalized parton distributions provide a unified parameterization of hadron structure and allow one to combine information from many different observables. Lattice QCD calculations already provide important input to determine these…
The dependence of the hadron interaction on its structure is examined in the framework of the generelized parton distributions (GPDs). The x dependence of the GPDs is determined by the parton distribution functions (PDFs), which were…
We suggest that generalized parton distributions can be probed in charged current meson production process, $ep\to\nu_{e}\pi^{-}p$. In contrast to pion photoproduction, this process is sensitive to the unpolarized GPDs $H,\,E$, and for this…
